OPERATOR ROLL OVER PROTECTION (ROPS)
The roll-over protection system, in compliance with the ISO 21299-2008 directive, guarantees the operator's
safety in case of machine roll-over.
Use the ROPS when working on slopes and always remember to wear safety belts not to compromise the
operator's safety. During work keep the roll-bar raised and locked via the appropriate fixing pins. Make sure
the implement is always mounted on the machine to guarantee stability. IMPORTANT:
- Do not remove the ROPS from the machine
- Always keep the ROPS in perfect working conditions, frequently check its fastening elements.
- Make sure the ROPS is not damaged during work.
- Should the ROPS be damage, never repair it nor modify it. It must be replaced with a new, original Grillo
component.
- Make sure the seat is well fixed via the appropriate hook.
- Lower the roll-bar only when absolutely necessary and NEVER on slopes.
To properly use the roll-bar follow the instructions below:
1) Park the machine on a level surface.
2) Lower the mower deck, and engage the parking brake.
3) Completely raise the grass-catcher.
4) Shut off the engine.
5) Insert the locking pins of the parallelogram (Fig. 54).
6) Remove the safety pins by turning them 90° (Fig. 55)
7) Raise and/or lower the roll-bar very carefully.
8) Insert the safety pins again by turning them 90°.
9) Mount the rotating beacon paying attention not to damage its connecting wires.
10) Remove the safety pins of the parallelogram
11) Switch the engine on and set the grass-catcher again in working condition.
The ROPS must absolutely be used when working on slopes, on wet grounds and on grounds with
bumps or irregular grounds. Do not use this machine on slopes greater than 18° (32%).
SLOPES
Steep ground should be tackled in an up-and-down movement, being very careful at direction changes that
the wheels uphill do not meet any obstacles (stones, branches, roots, etc.) which could cause loss of control
over the machine. If the drive wheels tend to slip, use the hydraulic control to slightly raise the deck so that
more weight is exerted on the drive wheels, therefore giving more traction.
Evaluate the various conditions and be careful in the presence of damp ground and wet grass because this
could cause the mower to slide. When going downhill, start off at a slow speed and avoid driving over dry or
cut grass because the wheels could lose their grip. The differential lock (fig. 2, no. 11) engages automatically
through a stability device (fig. 53) when the operator is driving downhill and reverses direction, to prevent the
rear wheels from skidding or in case of load on motor vehicle in reverse motion with the presence of ramps
Do not manually engage the differential lock under normal working conditions (fig. 1, no. 26).

SAFETY DEVICES

Always remember that the engine stops each time when:
- the operator gets up from the seat, if the parking brake has not been engaged and the blades and the
turbine have not been disengaged before.
In addition, the engine will not start if:
- the PTO switch is engaged;
the turbine switch is engaged;
-
- if there is no one seated on the driving seat, unless the parking brake has been applied and the blades
have been disengaged;
- the feed pedals and the reverse pedal are not in the stop position;
the grass catcher is not completely lowered.
-
Attention! When the parking brake is applied, it is possible to leave the driving seat with the engine on,
provided the blades and the turbine are switched off.
